Very nice guy. 2 exams aren't hard if you study. Very fair when it comes to grading speeches.

Dr. Danielson was an excellent instructor! He explains the course material in such a way that you really understand the concepts, and he does it by giving examples in everyday situations. The tests were a little difficult, but if you attend all classes and study you will do just fine. The speeches required were a lot of fun too!

I am not a shy person but I have a pretty hard time speaking infront of an entire class. However, Dr. Danielson was for the most part, able to allay my anxiety. My grades for speeches were probably better than they should have been (I'm not complaing) He is also very understand, and I rarely had to sit through his class for the full hour and 15 minutes. His only downfall is a strict attendance and participation policy. Overall I would take him again. =)

Of all the classes I took I actually enjoyed his class. His tests are hard but they are only worth 10% of your grade. The speeches aren't that bad. And the one thing he will tell you he likes is CLASS PARTICIPATION!! do that and your on his good side. He also lets class out early if he is done with the topic. I would highly recommend him.

I don't understand why people don't like Dr. Danielson. He is so understanding and his speeches are SOOOO easy and I'm even a shy person. His tests are a little hard but it doesnt matter if you do bad because he gives you extra points on the test and the tests arnt worth that much. Your speeches are worth a lot more. You get to write this easy easy paper that is there to boost your grade. HIS CLASS IS SERIOUSLY EASY!! and if you have a problem with giving speeches then take him because he will make you calm down. he is the best prof to take!!!

Dr. Dainelson is a great man. Very smart and he knows it. he tells good stories and knows how to make you laugh. Tests are hard but are worth very little. Speech are easy...but don't read straight off your paper. Take him if you want an easy "A"

Yeah, we're in college and it's ridiculous to grade attendence, but other than that, class was ok. I am a very shy person, and when I get up in front of the class and do speeches you can tell I'm nervous, yet, I still got a reasonable grade. As long as you don't read your speech, or memorize it you'll do fine. Tests aren't that hard, I think I guessed a lot. He does have a sense of humor, but sometimes it seemed like he was belittling me. Other than that, if you try, you'll get a good grade.

BOC profs tend to be really demanding, but Dr. Danielson wasn't. He was very entertaining. Only 2 exams (midterm and a non-comprehensive final). He assigned a paper and a group project (both easy) and only 3 speeches, which aren't really hard. Just don't read from your notecards. He's a good choice for BOC.

Dr. Danielson is a very sarcastic man. I am in the process of taking his class now and wish on anything in the world to be taken out of it. He thinks that he is the smartest man alive and will not give a clear answer to what is right or wrong. All he ever says is "yeah, maybe, that sounds pretty good". He teaches basic communication skills and if you say "um or uh" in any speech, be prepared for at least a C. His grading is all over the place and tries to scare us with "participation points" but does not even know anyones name. Do yourself a favor and steer clear.

Dr. Danielson is very sarcastic. To some extent, I appreciated this. His class was a waste of time. He did not teach much of anything. Little to nothing was expected of us in class. He kept threatening us with our class particpation grades, but did not know our names. He graded us harshly for concepts he did not teach us.

This class was pretty boring but how interesting can Basic orals of communication be?! The class consisted of a lecture every class, 1 midterm and 1 final, 1 or 2 papers that are extremely EASY!, and 3 speeches. All in all the class was pretty easy.
